President Obama’s love for dogs was first in the public limelight when he promised his two daughters Sasha and Malia a pet dog once he won the elections. Indeed, it happened. The journey towards getting the dog began and landed in Bo. Bo- the white house dog has been a companion more to the first family but more so to the wife Michelle Obama more than the daughters.
Bo appears in various public forums and many frequent visitors of the white house have had a chance to see and watch it play and run around his master. Michelle admits it is the first son of the family. He occupies Obama’s space in bed when he is away. Although it was meant for the daughters, it has found comfort in the first lady.

You offer extra care for something you love. Bo visits the top dog salons for hair treatments and beautification accompanied by the white house groundsman support staff. He even takes a holiday to the best destinations to interact with other dogs. A key one in the public domain is the standing ovation it received holiday makers with their dogs at Martha’s vineyard. The pet has visited Hawaii among other holiday destinations. Bo’s food is definitely the best. Bo, Obama’s pet dog will surely love pineapple. Can the dog eat and be with Obama?
